Went to an ABATE meeting tonight at the Fraternal Order of Eagles club on Washington and Bruce. ABATE folks were all cool, but the VP of the Eagles club comes up and tells me it's against the law for him to allow firearms in the building unless he hires armed security.
I was polite and said I wasn't looking to cause trouble, but that was not the case. He raised his voice over me, and said that he was in charge of their licensing, so he knew.
I wasn't going to go out in front of the club to stick my 1911 in a leather saddlebag for every dirtbag within sight of Washington and LV Blvd to steal. So, here I am at home.
If anyone was considering joining the Eagles, I'd suggest re-thinking that. Hopefully ABATE, a motorcycle rights group, can find a place to meet that is not anti-gun.
I would have had a lot more respect for the guy just saying he was anti-gun, than trying to hide behind "state law" which we all know is bogus - and likely, he does as well.
